I really enjoyed ‘The Return of Thelma the Unicorn.’ It read like a poem and the illustrations were entertaining for kids and fun to look at for adults as there were enough visual jokes and references that gave me a chuckle.

What I love about this system is that the rules provide enough narrative freedom for the player, while still keeping it within a defined system that would appeal both to seasoned players that like a little ‘crunch’ in their game; whilst making it easy for first-time players to tabletop to enjoy.

What I did like about Wright’s game is how he created archetype stunt families that have stunt groups that chain off of each other. This gives players another opportunity for character progression.

The Mecha system is also very interesting; allowing the Game Master to have a collection of Aspects, Extras, and Stress track for them.

This past week, I did more research on the Fate Core system. I read the Fate System Toolkit which is another game-building supplement of Evil Hat Productions. This was also a very helpful resource for building a game.

Although I do not plan on having magic used in my game, this does have a very robust explanation of how one would utilize a magic system inside a Fate Core system.

I have always been a cat person, so I found the game itself a delight to read. I do not know Bellingham personally, but it is greatly apparent that he loves cats and the magic system he created for cats is fun and creative.

On the surface, the similarities between both systems are player-driven and are heavy into creating consensus in telling a story.

Where the FATE system has strength is in its simple dice system of plus and minus and allowing the player to build their character, allowing them to fully understand who their character is at the beginning of the game.
